' like surfaces.

being so constructed that only compressivev stress is exerted on said disk of yieldable material bythe transmission of power from.

one of said shafts to the other. j 2. A coupling comprising two .disks adapted to be secured respectively to the two jacent faces of said first mentioned disks,

the connecting faces of all of said disksbeing wave like surfaces.

4. A coupling comprising -two disks of rigid material adapted to be secured re` spectively to the two shafts to be coupled together and a disk of yieldable material interposed between and connected to the adjacent lateral faces of said first mentioned disks, vthe connecting lateral faces of all of said disks being wave-like surfaces.

5. A coupling .comprising two metallicl disks adapted to be secured respectively to the two shafts which are to be coupled together, and a rubber disk interposed between and connected to the adjacent faces of said metallic disks, the connecting faces of all of said disks being wave like surfaces.

6. A couplingv comprising -two metallic disks adapted to be secured respectively .to the two shafts which are to be coupledt0- gether, and a rubber disk interposed between and :vulcanized to ythe adjacent faces of said metallic disks, the connecting facesv of allv of said disks being wave like surfaces.

7. A coupling comprising twov members adapted to be secured respectively to the two shafts which are to be coupled together, and a yieldable member interposed between and connected to the adjacent faces of said first mentioned members, the connecting faces of all of said members being irregular surfaces.

8. A coupling comprising two disks of rigid material adapted to be, secured' respectively to the twoshafts to be coupled together,A and a disk of yieldable material interposed between and connected to the adjacent faces of said first mentioned disks, the connecting faces of all of said disks being irregular surfaces.

9. A coupling comprising two metallic disks adapted to be secured respectively to the two shafts which are to be coupled together; and a rubber disk interposed between and connected to 'the' adjacent faces of said metallic disks, lthe connecting faces of all of said disks being irregular surfaces.

10. A coupling comprising two metallic disks adapted to be secured respectively to the two shafts whichare to be coupled to gether, and a rubber disk interposed between `and vulcanized to the adjacent faces of said metallic disks, the connecting faces of all of said disks being irregular surfaces.'

11. A coupling comprisin two disks of rigid material, and a disk o yieldable Ina-y terial interposed therebetween and vulcanized thereto.

l2. AA coupling. comprising twodisks adapted to be secured respectively to the two shafts which are to be coupled together and a yieldable disk interposed between and contacting with adjacent lateral faces of said first mentioned disks, the contacting lateral faces of all of said disks being in the form of waves radiatin Ifrom the center and being substantially smular at the mean radius.
